Inien grinned. “Well, now we’re handcuffed, so you can’t dothat.”

Ashe snarled and pulled hard on the chains that held herarms above her head. “I was made aware of that when my first mate lead a mutiny againstme!”

“Well, at leastMarkus, Thog, and Gregor are safe on land.”

“Yeah, for now.”

Inien tutted. “I’m not sure what you saw in Xin anyway.”

Ashe sank, chains going taut as she let her body fallforward. “I’m not sure either.”

She only looked up when she feet Inien nudge her foot withhers. “Well, at least when we get out of here, you’ll have fun murdering theshit out of him.”

“You’re right. And I’ll be able to get back at you for beinga little shit.”

Inien paused. “That means rough make-up sex, right?”

“Nope.”

“Damn.”
